This antique silver pendant depicts the iconic Jerusalem Cross, also known as the Crusader's Cross or Holy Land Cross. Handcrafted using filigree techniques, it features a large central cross surrounded by four smaller crosses, all decorated with spheres and raised floral motifs. The pendant includes a chain.
Originating in the 11th century, the Jerusalem Cross became the emblem of the Kingdom of Jerusalem after the First Crusade in 1099. Its shape is not merely aesthetic: it symbolizes the five wounds of Christ, the four Gospels, and the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to the world. This type of cross, also used by military orders and pilgrims, has endured as a symbol of faith, sacrifice, and redemption.
This piece of jewelry is ideal for both collectors and those looking for a gift with strong symbolic meaning and handcrafted beauty.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
